What happens when iOS 20 comes out and the A11 can’t run it? Is it suddenly okay then to ask Apple’s permission? I don’t think the court would hold up a bootrom exploit in an older…

If you require the user to hook into iTunes/Xcode, flip the device into recovery mode, click a few buttons, and agree to a "You're hecked if you break it now" policy, it'll be enou…

I wonder how much people are able to publish about the device. I'd expect not much, but it'd be nice to be able to compare a iPhone that was completely unlocked (at least, to whate…

What's the annoyance? It's an MSI. Use msiexec /x to remove it (probably via PDQ Deploy or SCCM or a PowerShell Script), and then block the installer from running again during an O…

Blocking it's removal? How? Teams was installed with Office on my current system, and it pops up in Add/Remove Programs. IT Admins can prevent it from being installed with Office (…

It's just annoyingly expensive for Windows boxes, with all of the licensing and stuff. Microsoft includes licenses for running VDI in Azure with Microsoft 365 now, but it still req…

I’m thinking that someone at Microsoft may have snuck the code for Windows into the archive after it was pulled from Github. Between Windows and OS X, a ton (most?) of the end user…

Presumptively, the Tech Tree will have some way of bootstrapping a system capable of decoding the tapes. They say in the introduction that it’s nearly useless to access the tapes w…

I don't know, it'd probably take 18F like a month to add a page to whitehouse.gov called "Things the President said", add 2FA and whatever else it needs to be installed on his gove…

In the other thread, this was phrased as Tesla not allowing those states to release the information of people who bought a car to third-parties because privacy. I'm sure if you wan…

I feel like you could just as easily say "Simple. As soon as Google changes their cut to 20% for Android-exclusive apps, developers will move to that store to make more money. User…

That's just as true of GitHub though, and isn't the problem. The problem is the related services, like issues, PRs and now CI/CD which all sit with the code but don't come down on …

Zoom, Slack and Teams all use WebRTC for running their respective clients in the browser.

I think I've heard of a place like this [0]... [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com Although hn doesn't have an exact assigned niche (it falls towards science and technology but that'…

Yep. But Pyodide is under development and has numpy and friends already... https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide

Skype for Business, Lync, and in the dark ages Office Communicator even had it. If you left IM open and your PC unlocked but you weren't using it, after a user set delay your statu…

They could, but since so much of healthcare sits inside Citrix these days, it's unlikely that in OP's scenario it would've mattered. It's pretty easy to find out if you are running…

At least for Apple, they claim the iPhone (at least devices post-checkm8) has not been compromised. iCloud is required to comply with records requests, but the data isn’t in iCloud…

I wish they'd let users set the green squares to public projects only. I use github a lot for private projects or archival (did a quick thing, write myself a readme and store it in…

Time Machine (I don't know if that is what they are talking about, but it's an example) is designed to be used daily as well as in case your laptop explodes. Opening Time Machine a…

Comcast's newer IPTV/X1 boxes are somehow worse, as they have 100x the processing capacity of the old Motorola/Cisco boxes, but use it to run a slow as molasses JS SPA. The Netflix…

Comcast is $10 per TV (unless you’re cool with Roku) and the cord-cutter apps have good support on a bunch of different devices you can plug into your TV. I think Hulu still wins u…

I had a similar experience a couple years ago with a $2k MacBook Pro, except they did the whole spiel. “No, please! I want to give you money. Can I please give you money now?”
